The Government is moving to introduce legislation to support the implementation of an Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) as part of efforts to strengthen border security and combat transnational crime.
Speaking at a post-Cabinet media briefing on Thursday, Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath confirmed that the proposed bill will soon be presented to Parliament.
Padarath said the legislation is expected to significantly improve the country’s ability to monitor and manage its borders through enhanced data sharing and intelligence gathering.
